CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Francisco Lindor smacked a clutch RBI double off the left field wall with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning Thursday as the Cleveland Indians looked to extend their record winning streak.

Lindor and the Indians were down to their final strike, trailing 2-1 in the ninth against Royals closer Kelvin Herrera.

That's when the Indians shortstop drove a pitch over the head of Alex Gordon that caromed off the wall and allowed pinch runner Erik Gonzalez to score all the way from first base, tying the score at 2-2.

Austin Jackson followed with a ground out to second base as the game headed to extra innings. The Indians are trying to extend their American League record for consecutive wins that currently stands at 21. A win would put them ahead of the 1935 Chicago Cubs for second on the all-time list.
